"I'm incredibly honored," Halvorson said Tuesday of his second-place finish. With more than 25,000, Halvorson said he "overcame" Shuster getting support from other local politicians like Travis Schooley.

Halvorson said his campaign put effort into areas like Franklin County, as it was one of the larger counties in the district.

"The ones we won were intentional, if you will," Halvorson said. "So that made the difference."

Rep. Bill Shuster's office gave a statement that Shuster "is proud that Republican voters of the 9th District have put their confidence and trust in him again to represent their conservative values.

"From the beginning of this contest, Congressman Shuster has said that he is the right Republican to represent the party in the general election, and the voters of the 9th District agreed," the statement said. "Congressman Shuster is proud to be on the Republican team with Donald Trump and Pat Toomey."

Halvorson is in high spirits after the election and said that next, everything is on the table.

"We are committed to seeing conservative voices," Halvorson said. "I'm committed to helping the people as much as I can. Either as a candidate or as another vote and citizen."

Halvorson said in his opinion, there is no conservative representative in the area.

"I do feel like Shuster's time is over," Halvorson said, citing it being his last year as chairman of Transportation Committee. "An incumbent is hard to beat, and then a chairman, but that didn't deter me. He barely survived this race."

Halvorson said he is encouraged and wants voters to be encouraged.

"I think there's nothing but good news here," Halvorson said. "I think it's exciting for people because now they can see a new day."

In other races around the county, there were no major changes in the winners presented from the previously announced unofficial results.

In presidential races, Hillary Clinton won Franklin County with 51.7 percent of the votes, to Bernie Sander's 47 percent. Donald Trump won easily over the remaining republican candidates with 57.72 percent of the votes, with Ted Cruz second with 25.62 percent of the votes.

Bill Shuster and Bob Thomas, Debra Taylor and Judith Ward have the most votes for delegates on the Republican side. Shuster is for Trump, Thomas is undeclared, Taylor is Trump committed and Ward is PA-9 committed.
